Q: prozac and tiazepam combination

hi i was on here over christmas and since then ive been to the docs at my very low point and diagnosed me woth depression. She has since put me on prozac and tiazepam. Im a bit worried about the combination.

I have also been feeling very manic, excitable but feeling very low at the same time which i had before the meds. Last sat i suffered a horrific ordeal from drinking which i know i shouldnt have been doing in the first place and suffered a 5hr hour memory blank and sexual abuse.

Does anyone else find they become manic when they drink? Is this due to bipolar?

Sexual abuse? Are you ok!! I hope it wasn't too serious Sad

I do find that when I drink, my mood tends to switch from depression to manic and vice versa, depending on what my mood is like at that point. I don't blank out per-say, unless I put my head down for even a moment then I would be out-cold till the middle of the next day.

Feeling manic and excitable & low at the same time...? I get that too...it's the most irretating frustrating thing...I hate it...it just bogs down my WHOLE thaught process...

If I understand it correctly, prozac is for the depression and tiazepam is for the anxiety. It might not be all that harsh, depending on your dose. But alcahol and anti-depressants/anti-anxiety med's is a dangerous mix. I tend to only drink when I'm at family gatherings and then just to be social, so I know that if something happens, I'm in a safe situation.

I truely hope you are doing ok.
